1 INTRODUCTORY INSTRUCTIONS
2 Instruction No. 1: Role of the Court
3 You have now heard all of the evidence in the case, as well as the final arguments of the
4 lawyers for the parties. My duty at this point is to instruct you as to the law. It is your duty to
5 accept these instructions of law and apply them to the facts as you determine them.
6 On these legal matters, you must take the law as I give it to you. Regardless of any
7 opinion that you may have as to what the law may be—or ought to be—it would violate your
8 sworn duty to base a verdict upon any other view of the law than that which I give you. If an
9 attorney or anyone else at trial has stated a legal principle different from any that I state to you in
10 my instructions, it is my instructions that you must follow.
11 You should not single out any instruction alone stating the law, but you should consider
12 my instructions as a whole when you retire to deliberate in the jury room. You may take a copy
13 of these instructions with you into the jury room.
